Winemaker Notes

Cabernet has always been a mainstay in the winemaking
program at Stags' Leap Winery, and winemaker
Kevin Morrisey likes to blend a combination
of estate fruit and grapes from key vineyards
located in many of the other prestigious Napa
Valley appellations. Much of the estate vineyard
is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon where
deep, well-drained, loamy volcanic soils make
this a perfect place to grow Cabernet.

Rich ruby red in color, luscious aromatics of
black cherry, blackberries, and plum greet the
nose with a slight back note of earth, leather, and
bittersweet chocolate. Flavors of plum compote,
spice, green tea, and cocoa are the introduction
to this wine as velvety, unctuous tannins blend
with a juicy, naturally balanced mid-palate of
complex structure. Layers of spice, coffee and
cream integrate with fruit notes to the end.

Critical Acclaim

Stags' Leap Winery

A fashionable country resort in the mid-twentieth century, popular with Hollywood due to its 1892 stone Manor House and historic gardens, legends of bootleggers and gangsters, ghosts and gypsies, Stags' Leap has been home to three major family groups up through the modern revitalization of the winery that began in the 1970s.

Stags Leap Manor, as it was called in the 1920s, was known as one of the prominent country retreats in the Napa Valley at a time when resort and spa business was big. In addition to lodging and dining, amenities included lawn tennis, swimming, horseback riding, children's activities, golf, music, cards, a library, and Napa Valley wines and liquors (prior to and after Prohibition).

An intimate valley within the greater Napa Valley, Stags Leap is a place of natural beauty, storied buildings and gardens, a lively history, and a reputation for elegant wines showing finesse and intensity.

Napa Valley

Cabernet Sauvignon

The Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without thinking of the other. Although Cabernet has many important outposts throughout the wine world, nowhere else has it achieved such success (and, at the highest end, commanded such lofty prices) than in Napa. Here, it is responsible for bold, opulent, and dark-fruited wines with grippy tannins and a healthy dose of alcohol. The best examples can age for decades. Each of Napa’s smaller sub-AVAs imparts a different character to Cabernet, such as Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
